Feedback 572228753Smm appreciated. 573228753Smm 574228753SmmApr 14, 2007: libarchive 2.0.31 released 575228753SmmApr 14, 2007: More fixes for Interix, more 'ar' work 576228753Smm 577228753SmmApr 14, 2007: libarchive 2.0.30 released 578228753SmmApr 13, 2007: libarchive now enforces trailing '/' on dirs 579228753Smm written to tar archives 580228753Smm 581228753SmmApr 11, 2007: libarchive 2.0.29 released 582228753SmmApr 11, 2007: Make it easier to statically configure for different platforms. 583228753SmmApr 11, 2007: Updated config.guess, config.sub, libtool 584228753Smm 585228753SmmApr 06, 2007: libarchive 2.0.28 released 586228753SmmApr 06, 2007: 'ar' format read/write support thanks to Kai Wang. 587228753Smm 588228753SmmApr 01, 2007: libarchive 2.0.27 released 589228753SmmMar 31, 2007: Several minor fixes from Colin Percival and Joerg Sonnenberger. 590228753Smm 591228753SmmMar 12, 2007: libarchive 2.0.25 released 592228753SmmMar 12, 2007: Fix broken --unlink flag. 593228753Smm 594228753SmmMar 11, 2007: libarchive 2.0.24 released 595228753SmmMar 10, 2007: Correct an ACL blunder that causes any ACL with an entry 596228753Smm that refers to a non-existent user or group to not be restored correctly. 597228753Smm The fix both makes the parser more tolerant (so that archives created 598228753Smm with the buggy ACLs can be read now) and corrects the ACL formatter. 599228753SmmMar 10, 2007: More work on test portability to Linux. 600228753Smm 601228753SmmMar 10, 2007: libarchive 2.0.22 released 602228753SmmMar 10, 2007: Header cleanups; added linux/fs.h, removed 603228753Smm some unnecessary headers, added #include guards in bsdtar. 604228753Smm If you see any obvious compile failures from this, let me know. 605228753SmmMar 10, 2007: Work on bsdtar test scripts: not yet robust enough 606228753Smm to enable as part of "make check", but getting better. 607228753SmmMar 10, 2007: libarchive now returns ARCHIVE_FAILED when 608228753Smm a header write fails in a way that only affects this item. 609228753Smm Less bad than ARCHIVE_FATAL, but worse than ARCHIVE_WARN. 610228753Smm 611228753SmmMar 07, 2007: libarchive 2.0.21 released 612228753SmmMar 07, 2007: Add some ACL tests (only for the system-independent 613228753Smm portion of the ACL support for now). 614228753SmmMar 07, 2007: tar's ability to read ACLs off disk got 615228753Smm turned off for FreeBSD; re-enable it. (ACL restores and 616228753Smm libarchive support for storing/reading ACLs from pax 617228753Smm archives was unaffected.) 618228753Smm 619228753SmmMar 02, 2007: libarchive 2.0.20 released 620228753SmmMar 2, 2007: It's not perfect, but it's pretty good. 621228753Smm Libarchive 2.0 is officially out of beta. 622228753Smm 623228753SmmFeb 28, 2007: libarchive 2.0b17 released 624228753SmmFeb 27, 2007: Make the GID restore checks more robust by checking 625228753Smm whether the current user has too few or too many privileges. 626228753Smm 627228753SmmFeb 26, 2007: libarchive 2.0b15 released 628228753SmmFeb 26, 2007: Don't lose symlinks when extracting from ISOs. 629228753Smm Thanks to Diego "Flameeyes" Petten�� for telling me about the 630228753Smm broken testcase on Gentoo that (finally!) led me to the cause 631228753Smm of this long-standing bug. 632228753Smm 633228753SmmFeb 26, 2007: libarchive 2.0b14 released 634228753SmmFeb 26, 2007: Fix a broken test on platforms that lack lchmod(). 635228753Smm 636228753SmmFeb 25, 2007: libarchive 2.0b13 released 637228753SmmFeb 25, 2007: Empty archives were being written as empty files, 638228753Smm without a proper end-of-archive marker. Fixed. 639228753Smm 640228753SmmFeb 23, 2007: libarchive 2.0b12 released 641228753SmmFeb 22, 2007: Basic security checks added: _EXTRACT_SECURE_NODOTDOT 642228753Smm and _EXTRACT_SECURE_SYMLINK. These checks used to be in bsdtar, 643228753Smm but they belong down in libarchive where they can be used by 644228753Smm other tools and where they can be better optimized. 645228753Smm 646228753SmmFeb 11, 2007: libarchive 2.0b11 released 647228753SmmFeb 10, 2007: Fixed a bunch of errors in libarchive's handling 648228753Smm of EXTRACT_PERM and EXTRACT_OWNER, especially relating 649228753Smm to SUID and SGID bits. 650228753Smm 651228753SmmJan 31, 2007: libarchive 2.0b9 released 652228753SmmJan 31, 2007: Added read support for "empty" archives as a 653228753Smm distinct archive format. Bsdtar uses this to handle, e.g., 654228753Smm "touch foo.tar; tar -rf foo.tar" 655228753Smm 656228753SmmJan 22, 2007: libarchive 2.0b6 released 657228753SmmJan 22, 2007: archive_write_disk API is now in place. It provides 658228753Smm a finer-grained interface than archive_read_extract. In particular, 659228753Smm you can use it to create objects on disk without having an archive 660228753Smm around (just feed it archive_entry objects describing what you 661228753Smm want to create), you can override the uname/gname-to-uid/gid lookups 662228753Smm (minitar uses this to avoid getpwXXX() and getgrXXX() bloat). 663228753Smm 664228753SmmJan 09, 2007: libarchive 2.0a3 released 665228753SmmJan 9, 2007: archive_extract is now much better; it handles the 666228753Smm most common cases with a minimal number of system calls. 667228753Smm Some features still need a lot of testing, especially corner 668228753Smm cases involving objects that already exist on disk. I expect 669228753Smm the next round of API overhaul will simplify building test cases. 670228753SmmJan 9, 2007: a number of fixes thanks to Colin Percival, especially 671228753Smm corrections to the skip() framework and handling of large files. 672228753SmmJan 9, 2007: Fixes for large ISOs. The code should correctly handle 673228753Smm very large ISOs with entries up to 4G. Thanks to Robert Sciuk 674228753Smm for pointing out these issues. 675228753Smm 676228753SmmSep 05, 2006: libarchive 1.3.1 released 677228753SmmSep 5, 2006: Bump version to 1.3 for new I/O wrappers. 678228753SmmSep 4, 2006: New memory and FILE read/write wrappers. 679228753SmmSep 4, 2006: libarchive test harness is now minimally functional; 680228753Smm it's located a few minor bugs in error-handling logic 681228753Smm 682228753SmmAug 17, 2006: libarchive 1.2.54 released 683228753SmmAug 17, 2006: Outline ABI changes for libarchive 2.0; these 684228753Smm are protected behind #ifdef's until I think I've found everything 685228753Smm that needs to change. 686228753SmmAug 17, 2006: Fix error-handling in archive_read/write_close() 687228753Smm They weren't returning any errors before. 688228753SmmAug 17, 2006: Fix recursive-add logic to not trigger if it's not set 689228753Smm Fixes a bug adding files when writing archive to pipe or when 690228753Smm using archive_write_open() directly. 691228753SmmJul 2006: New "skip" handling improves performance extracting 692228753Smm single files from large uncompressed archives. 693228753Smm 694228753SmmMar 21, 2006: 1.2.52 released 695228753SmmMar 21, 2006: Fix -p on platforms that don't have platform-specific 696228753Smm extended attribute code. 697228753SmmMar 20, 2006: Add NEWS file; fill in some older history from other 698228753Smm files. I'll try to keep this file up-to-date from now on. 699228753Smm 700228753SmmOLDER NEWS SUMMARIES 701228753Smm 702228753SmmMar 19, 2006: libarchive 1.2.51 released 703228753SmmMar 18, 2006: Many fixes to extended attribute support, including a redesign 704228753Smm of the storage format to simplify debugging. 705228753SmmMar 12, 2006: Remove 'tp' support; it was a fun idea, but not worth 706228753Smm spending much time on. 707228753SmmMar 11, 2006: Incorporated Jaakko Heinonen's still-experimental support 708228753Smm for extended attributes (Currently Linux-only.). 709228753SmmMar 11, 2006: Reorganized distribution package: There is now one tar.gz 710228753Smm file that builds both libarchive and bsdtar. 711228753SmmFeb 13, 2006: Minor bug fixes: correctly read cpio device entries, write 712228753Smm Pax attribute entry names. 713228753SmmNov 7, 2005: Experimental 'tp' format support in libarchive. Feedback 714228753Smm appreciated; this is not enabled by archive_read_support_format_all() 715228753Smm yet as I'm not quite content with the format detection heuristics. 716228753SmmNov 7, 2005: Some more portability improvements thanks to Darin Broady, 717228753Smm minor bugfixes. 718228753SmmOct 12, 2005: Use GNU libtool to build shared libraries on many systems. 719228753SmmAug 9, 2005: Correctly detect that MacOS X does not have POSIX ACLs. 720228753SmmApr 17, 2005: Kees Zeelenberg has ported libarchive and bsdtar to Windows: 721228753Smm http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/ 722228753SmmApr 11, 2005: Extended Zip/Zip64 support thanks to Dan Nelson. -L/-h 723228753Smm fix from Jaakko Heinonen. 724228753SmmMar 12, 2005: archive_read_extract can now handle very long 725228753Smm pathnames (I've tested with pathnames up to 1MB). 726228753SmmMar 12, 2005: Marcus Geiger has written an article about libarchive 727228753Smm http://xsnil.antbear.org/2005/02/05/archive-mit-libarchive-verarbeiten/ 728228753Smm including examples of using it from Objective-C.
